yes cheesecake...not cream cheese

My customer wanted a filling to taste more like cheesecake instead of creamcheese

I just bought instant cheesecake filling by Philladelphia and mixed the tub in with a batch of buttercream and mmmmmm

perfect for the red velvet cake!!

Thanks for sharing

Now that sounds great. Thanks for sharing.

We used to bake a real cheesecake and do a layer of cheesecake in between the cakes. But that sounds awesome.!

To the OP: what kind of buttercream did you mix it with?

Sounds goods, gotta try it. Thanks for sharing.

I'm not a big fan of sour cream in cake so I tried using the cheese cake filling in a cake in place of the sour cream filling - YUMMMMM! No more sour cream for me. I haven't tried mixing it in buttercream but I will now.

What a great idea - thanks for sharing!

Sounds great! Is the mixture chunky or smooth; you said filling, can you ice the cake with it too?

glad I found this post.... I've been looking for a cheesecake fillling

This sounds great, and easy. Can't wait to try it. Does it spread more like buttercream, or like cream cheese frosting?

Edna - now I am definitely going to try that! A layer of real cheesecake?! OMG yummo!

Just to clear up my previous post, it's the ready-to-use cheesecake filling that you find in a tub in the refrigerated section with the cream cheese. I don't use it for icing, only for filling and added to the cake batter in place of sour cream. I suppose you could add some to buttercream for your icing but I haven't tried that yet. There is a plain flavor and a key lime flavor but you could add any flavoring you wanted to the plain. Try it. It's yummy and everyone LOVES it. HTH
